Project Description
This component is a water control structure in the C-4 Canal just east of the intersection with the C-2 Canal in Miami-Dade County. The primary purpose of S-380E (C-4 Structure) is to divert water south into the C-2 Canal for ground water wellfield recharge. The ability to direct flows south into the C-2 Canal will provide more freshwater flows to the central Biscayne Bay area.
The Structure can be operated to maximize the flow in both canals during the wet season to optimize flood protection. Although incidental, the possibility of improving flood protection of the C-4 basin is significant since flooding continues to be an issue for the surrounding communities. |
